Yote in the town eJestion 01 September
18th.
The Dailies and a Duzhber of
we(a)kly papers of the State have
been picking themselves all over with
glee at the expanse of Senator Till j
man over the free pass incident. In
their haste to hold Senator Tillman np
to public ridicule and censure, theBe
papers have completely lost sight of
the fact that Mr. Tillman holds a
dual position. He is, in the first
place, Senior United States Senator
\ from South Carolina in which position
only a small portion of his time is demanded
in the discharge of his
UiUClSl uuuoo ok naauiugiuu^ auu >u
the second, he occupies the position
of plain citizen, B. R. Tillman, as
such the major portion of his time is
devoted to his farming interest at
TrentoD, or any other pursuit which
he may see fit to follow. As United
States Senator it would be manifestly
wrong for him to use free pasBeB
going and coming from Washington
or on any official business, because
the laws of his State forbidB such
use. As citizen Ben, there is nothing
wrong in bis accepting and using
free passes on railroads. Now, when
Mr. Tillman lost his passes he was
travelling on purely private business
He was upon a contract lecture
y tour in conjunction with another
Senator. His time was paid for;
theatres or other public halls were
rented in which to speak, and admission
fees charged. He then represented
nobody but citizen Ben TiH
mar, of Trenton, South Carolina.
. He had just as much right to travel
; on free passes as the lawyer and
newspaper men, members of our State
(ilenAmi Assflmhlv hftVA fen fcmvfll nn
theirs, and in doing so be would be
entirely consistent with his utterances
on the use of free passes by public
officers when he was known to fame
only as plain Farmer Ben." This is
the long and short of the incident.
The loud mouth profestations of
Brooker Washington, that he did not
desire the negro to contend for social
equality but his aim and purpose
was to give, the youDg people of his
race an industrial education and thus
fit them for the battle of life, is but
tinkliDg cymbals and sounding braBS.
The other day op returning from the
north he and about forty other
negroes entered the railroad eating
house at Hamlet, N. C, and dined
while Senator Bacon of Georgia and
others, who refused to dine with them
were served in the kitchen.
John Smith, a prominent citizen
of Borne, Ga., who has fought for the
right to keep bogs in the city through
all the courts of Georgia, has defied
the Btate supreme court and declares
that he will teke his case to United
States supreme court.

under date of September llth, that
there was a wholesale massacre of
Christians in Macedonia, by the
Turks, and that the fanatical Mohammedans
are showing no quarter to
women and children. And yet the
civilized world calmly locks upon
the murder of those people with appwent
indifference.
Mucb ado about Loihing is being
made in certain quarters over tbe
assignment of Judge Townsend to
preside over the September term of
our court. A request has been made
to Chief Justice Pope, asking him to
rescind his order, but up to the^time
of going to press Judge Pope has

stands Judge Townsend will be the
presiding judge.
Yon Are Interested.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
At the outset I want to disabuse
the minds cf the people of the idea
that I want to raise the tax. We are
all agreea that it will take about nine
or ten thousand dollars to main* a n
the roads in Lexington county. Ouonly
trouble is about naming the
body. Some want him to have only
one name, "commutation", others
prefer a double name, "commutation
and direct." If he receives only the
first rame, then all of the care and
attention has to be given by the
I ?la?o ?-># mhita mon find thft I
pUUICl Viaoo Ui ?*U??V AMWM v>mv? w |
negro; but if he receives a double !
name then the classes already named
will have half the care and have the i
railroads, manufacturing companies, j
the town people, and the rich men of
the county, and the non-residents
who own real estate in the county, to
help with the other half and they
will do the lion's share.
From the best information I can
get Lexington county has at least
five thousand road hands out of a
population of 27,264 in 1900. I am
inclined to think it would run over
five thousand. A two doHar commutation
tax would be taxiDg a
class of people ten thousand dollars.
I It does not* change it because they
j are allowed to work it out. Time is
money, and never was it more so
than now.
Come out to Lexington next Saturday,
the 19th of September. You
are interested, it makes no difference
what you are in favor of, direct tax or
not. 1 am in to the finish.

Worthy Example. ,
The people of Sandy Rup and
Congaree townships, in supplementing
the road funds in cash and Work
to put the State road in good traveling
condition the year round
have solved the road question in a
practical manner and have also set a
patriotic example which is worthy to
be imitated by the people of other
communities in the county. Whenever
the people of a community take
that interest in their roads that
will lead them to go down in their
pockets to help put them in an
improved conditio^, it is safe to con
elude that they mean business and
are in earnest when they say that
they want good roide. If the people
of the other communities would
but follow the example of their Sandy
Run and Congaree fellow citizens,
this universal complaint about bad
roads would be a thing of the past.
What community in the county will
be the next to place itself upon the
honor roll.
Cancer Cured by Blood Balm.
All Skin and Blood Diseases
Cured.
Mr8. M. L. Adams, Fredonia Ala,
took Botanic Blood Balm which effectually
cured an eating cancer of the
nose and face. The sores healed up
perfectly. Many doctors had given
up her case as hopeless. Hundreds of
cases of cancer, eating sores, supperating
swellings, etc., have been cured
by Blood Balm. & mong others, Mrs.
B. M. Guerney, Warrior Stand, Ala
Her nose and lip were raw as beef,
with offensive discharge from the
eating sore. Doctors advised cutting,
but it failed. Blood Balm healed the
sores, and Mrs. Guerney is as well as
ever. Botanic Blood Balm also cures
eczema, itching humors, scabs and
scales, bone pains, ulcers, offensive
pimples, blood poison, carbuncles,
scrofula, risings and bumps on the
skin and all blood troubles. Druggists,
$1 per bottle. Sample of Botanic
Blood Balm free and prepaid
by writing Blcod Balm Co., Atlanta
Ga. Describe trouble and special
medical advice sent in sealed letter.
It is certainly worth while investigating
such a remarkable remedy, as
Blood Balm cures the most awful,
worst and mo3t deep seated blood
diseases.

Miss Elizabeth "I'ber, 2s o. 67 Bassett <
street, Albany, N. Y., writes: 1
" I have always dreaded the fall
and winter because of my extreme |
liability to catch cold, wizen catarrhal 1
trouble would quickly develop I
through my entire system which it r
would take weeks to drive away. 1 !
am thankful to say that since 1 have 1
taken Peruna, I do not have any reason
to dread this any more. Last ,,
fall when I suffered with my old "
trouble I took Peruna and in nine t
days was completely cured and since I
that time, if I have been at all ex- *
posed to the damp, wet or cold J

runa and it throws out any hint of *
sickness from my system. I gladly t
indorse it."?Miss Elizabeth Liber. I
Mrs. Wm. Dewey, Saranac Lake, 1ST. T
Y., is sceond cousin of Admiral Dewey. *
In a recent letter ^she says: T
"Peruna is the most valuable of I
any remedy that 1 have ever used for f
coughs, colds, etc. I cheerfully rec? I
ommer.d it as a certain cure if used A
according to directions."?Mrs. Wm.
Dewey. \ \
Miss Rosa Gerbing, a popular 11
society woman of Crown Point, Ind., ,,
writes: '1
" Last winter I took a long drive ?>
in the country, and being too thingly 1'
clad I caught a bad cold which settled \ \
on my lungs, and which I could not <>
seem to shake off. I had heard a ?
great deal of Peruna for colds and jj
catarrh and I bought a bottle to try. ?.
/ am pleased that I did for it brought f
speedy relief. It only took two boU I
ties and 1 consider this money well I
spent.
** Vnn hftvfi ft firm friend In me. I
and I not only advise its use to my Z
friends, but have purchased several J
bottles to give to those without the I
means to buy, and have noticed Z
without exception that it has brought f
about a speedy cure wherever it has ;
been used."?Miss Rosa Qerbing. i
To neglect a cold is to invito chronic ;
catarrh. As soon as anyone discovers Z
the first symptoms of catching cold he I
should at once begin the use of Peruna
according to directions on the bottle, *
and the cold is sure to pass away with
out leaving any bad effects. I
Unless this is done the cold is almost Z
sure to end in the second stage of ca- f
tarrh which is making so many lives Z
miserable. If Peruna was taken every J
time one has a cold or cough chronic Z
catarrh would be practically an un- i
known disease. *
If you do'not derive prompt and satis- ;
factory results from the use of Peruna, Z
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a J
full statement of your case and he will Z
be pleased to give you his valuable J
advice gratis. J
